IIRC McDo in the UK advertise their nuggets as "100% breast meat". They clearly aren't as they have batter, but I assume they mean "the meat portion is 100% chicken breast" yet have a niggling feeling they mean "the meat we put in is all chicken breast but we put textured soya/other fillers in too".

One of the problems with all the lying in advertising is you never quite know how cynical you need to be.

From an American perspective, food quality in the UK seems to be much higher than we have here.

In the US, McDonalds Nuggets contain way more filler -- up to 50% of any given nugget isn't even actual chicken meat at all, according to the University of Mississippi - https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2013/10/11/232106472/wh...

The McDo menu varies pretty dramatically from country to country, I wouldn't be surprised if they are telling the truth in that instance.
